The Complete Guide to Organizing Your Home with Storage
If your home is starting to feel cluttered, chaotic, or just a bit too crowded, you’re not alone. Between seasonal décor, old furniture, kids’ toys, sentimental keepsakes, and everything else that comes with life, it can be tough to find the space you need to feel calm and in control. The good news? With a little strategy and the right storage solutions, you can reclaim your space and create a more organized, peaceful home.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to declutter your home room by room, share smart tips for maximizing your space, and explain how self storage can support your long-term organizational goals.
If you’re looking for support along the way, Prestige Storage is here to help.
Step 1: Start with a Decluttering Mindset
Before you start boxing things up or rearranging furniture, it’s important to shift your mindset. Organization starts with letting go.
Ask yourself:
- Have I used this item in the last year?
- Does it bring me joy or serve a real purpose?
- Could this item benefit someone else more than it benefits me?
Start small. Choose one drawer, one shelf, or one corner of a room and commit to clearing it out. As momentum builds, you’ll feel more motivated to tackle larger spaces.
Step 2: Room-by-Room Organization Tips
Kitchen & Pantry
- Use clear bins and labels to store dry goods.
- Add pull-out shelves or lazy Susans to make use of deep cabinets.
- Store infrequently used appliances in a cabinet or off-site storage unit.
Living Room
- Choose multi-functional furniture like storage ottomans or coffee tables with shelves.
- Use decorative baskets to corral blankets, games, or remote controls.
- Keep seasonal décor stored away until it’s needed.
Bedrooms
- Store off-season clothing in vacuum-sealed bags or under-the-bed containers.
- Use hanging organizers in closets to maximize vertical space.
- Rotate children’s toys to reduce clutter and keep playtime fresh.
Bathrooms
- Use drawer dividers to sort small items like hair ties or makeup.
- Install floating shelves for extra towel or toiletry storage.
- Purge expired medications and beauty products regularly.
Garage & Basement
- Invest in heavy-duty shelving to store tools and equipment.
- Label all bins and stack vertically.
- Use Prestige Storage for overflow items or seasonal gear you don’t use year-round.
Step 3: Use Self Storage to Your Advantage
Sometimes, no matter how well you organize, your home just can’t accommodate everything. That’s where self storage comes in. Here are just a few ways storage can support a clutter-free lifestyle:
- Seasonal Storage: Store holiday decorations, patio furniture, or winter gear in a secure unit.
- Transitional Support: Moving, remodeling, or downsizing? Temporary storage offers flexibility and peace of mind.
- Business Overflow: Running a side hustle or small business? Keep inventory or supplies off-site to free up your home space.
